In his speech representing the dean, Sofyan Rizal conveyed the importance of the academic writing workshop in increasing the number of students who graduate on time. “This workshop is important for students to find ideas for their final assignments, both for their undergraduate and master's theses. This activity is also expected to encourage students to graduate on time,” said Sofyan Rizal.
In his presentation, Pihri explained how to find ideas. “There are three ways to find ideas for writing (theses or dissertations). From lectures, from current issues, and from replication & extension,” said Pihri to the students. Pihri also explained how to formulate good research questions so that theses can be started correctly.
